Wallow in the Obscene luxury of Dubai

25/05/2011

It sounds like something from a sci-fi flick, but Atlantis the Palm, Dubai is the real thing. Built on Dubai’s man-made Palm island, this a place to go to spoil the kids rotten, to indulge them to the point that anything less than a trip to the moon after this will result in a year long tantrum and costly therapy throughout their teens.

Guests have unlimited access to Aquaventure water park, with its speed slide, river slides, rapids and more. And big kids might like to upgrade to a Poseidon suite, whose bedroom and bathroom have underwater views into a huge lagoon! It must feel like being inside an aquarium – hopefully you and the wife don’t decide on a midnight skinny dip or it’ll be straight back to the therapy.

And if you need a quick escape for a quickie then you can nip down the coast to the Six Senses Hideaway in Kighi Bay, Oman while the kids are entertained at the funpark.

Atlantis the Palm, Dubai, AtlantisThePalmDubai. Seven nights’ BB, including flights, from €1,459 per adult and €559 per child under 12.
